Icons and automobiles
We represented luxury car manufacturer BMW in a trade-mark action over BMW's iconic "M" trade-marks. At trial, we obtained an injunction against Nissan's use of "M" and "M6" in association with its luxury vehicles. The decision was reversed on appeal.Dimock Stratton congratulates the winners of the 4th annual Fox IP Moot

The Harold G. Fox Moot was co-founded by the University of Windsor and Dimock Stratton LLP, title sponsor. Named in honour of one of Canada's leading intellectual property scholars, the moot promotes education in the intellectual property field. The moot drew participants from law schools across Canada, and was held at the Federal Court in Toronto. Respected jurists from the Supreme Court of Canada, the Ontario Court of Appeal, the Ontario Superior Court, and the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, as well as lawyers from the IP bar, graciously volunteered their time as panelists.
Dimock Stratton would also like to thank the sponsors as well as the volunteers and organizers of the moot for their hard work in making the fourth year a resounding success.
